Modifying user Templates without crapping everything

[bforcier]

Hi!

I’ll be using Open Directory w/ Kerberos but the users will be local. I’m setting up the master image right now and I’d like to know if there is a way to properly modify the User templates on that machine and make sure that it will work properly when the end user log on for the first time and his local home folder gets created.

I’ve tried on another install in the past but I was getting weird permission errors and behavior even though I thought I had applied proper permissions in Root by comparing them.

Sorry about the delay.

I did’nt do it that way.

I created a template account, did all my preference settings and then wen into root and moved the template account folder contents to the template file.

Went back as administrator, created a new accounts and I would get all sorts of permission issues.

Would’nt there be a market for someone to developp a GUI for template modification and adding pref files, serial number files and all like there is a market for Passenger?
